Five tasty Melbourne takeaways to try this weekend

Bar Thyme (Footscray)

The Bar Thyme team are transforming their small space into a takeaway shop for the weekend, ready for westside locals to fill their boots with fresh pasta meals, coffee, beer, wine, sweet things and more. Why not drop by neighbouring cocktail bar Trouble in Dreams for a strictly take-home cocktail while you're there?
227 Barkly Street, Footscray.

Pt. Leo at Home (Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne)

For a hatted feast at home any day throughout lockdown, check out the delicious range of meal boxes and individual dishes and wines you can order through Pt Leo at Home. From Lobster Rotolo to a Wagyu and Reserve Pinot Noir for two, this is food worth getting dressed up glam and setting the table for.

Epocha (Carlton North)

Coming in hot (literally, or leave a note if you'd like to finish at home) is Epocha's tasty range of takeaway packs. The date night pack ($190) is a decadent meal of wagyu beef, ricotta gnocchi, duck fat roasties and more. The Roast Chicken or Beef Short Rib pack ($45 for one or $85 for two) also sound super comforting, not to mention the individual dishes, cocktails and more for a particularly great night in. Free delivery for orders over $150. Order here.

Recreation (Fitzroy North)

Hot off the heels of previous successful take home menus, the Recreation are offering a finish at home three course (plus canape and bread and butter) dinner for two. Feast on sticky pork buns followed by ricotta and spinach roulade, duck breast and a souffle cheesecake, among other things. A matching flight of wines is available on request. OR there's a super special offering, that includes lobster thermidor, scallops, sashimi or more. Order now

Capitano (Carlton)

The friendly Capitano crew are supporting their supplier Somerset Heritage Produce with a delicious takeaway menu that makes the most of their early spring produce. On the menu is Burrata with pickled garlic, fresh campanelle with nettle pesto and salted ricotta, four cheese square with pancetta, confit kipflers and new spring onions and more. But hurry. This'll be sure sure to sell out quick. capitano.com.au
